Son Ye-jin Requests Privacy for Son, Upholding Non-Disclosure of His Face

Actress Son Ye-jin is actively protecting her son's privacy, maintaining her principle of not publicly revealing his face. In a recent interview regarding the Netflix series 'Scandal,' Son Ye-jin stated that while she and Hyun Bin are public figures, their child is not, and she directly approaches fans who secretly photograph her son to request photo deletion. This situation arose as sightings of the Hyun Bin-Son Ye-jin couple and their son spread online, increasing public interest in the child's appearance.

Son Ye-jin married Hyun Bin in 2022 and gave birth to their son the same year, with public interest in their child remaining high since birth. While she has openly discussed her son's eating habits and appearance in broadcasts and interviews, she emphasizes that this is about 'talking about her son,' not 'revealing his face.' The couple has consistently avoided exposing their child's face in official family photos, and even when photos of their child were mentioned on TV, his full face was not publicly shown.

Bloggers express understanding for Son Ye-jin's cautious approach to her son's facial exposure. They agree that even if parents are celebrities, their child's face should not be automatically revealed, and share concerns that early exposure could make it difficult for the child to lead a normal life as they grow up. Bloggers also positively note Son Ye-jin's statement that she would support her son if he chose to pursue acting, provided he has the talent, and appreciate the couple's portrayal as ordinary parents who share childcare responsibilities at home.
